Michael Moore Stands with Occupy Oakland at Oscar Grant Plaza (10/28/11)

"Not being here and watching from afar what took place here was really horrifying -- to see this, in this country. ... I think all of us want to send our best wishes, our prayers, our good karma, everything that we can muster to Scott so that he is better and well. ... Let's have 30 seconds of silence in honor of Scott Olsen and our hope that he will recover quickly from his injuries." -- Michael Moore at Occupy Oakland, Friday, October 28th, 2011

Wishing the best for Scott Olsen at http://www.michaelmoore.com

@dorksayswhat U mention the term "kangaroo fuckers"? Wow is that the best you got? U know that's a racist term don't u? U mention I "need a good beating"? We're here to debate this issue but it seems violence and hatred are part of your personality, which only proves my point. I can't be communicating with someone like u. I'm proud to be an Aussie, but I cant wash off my nationality for you just like you cant wash off your presumably ugly face. Don't bother responding.

Most of these people are simply people who have just had it with high unemployment, an endless war, and having to watch the rich get richer while the quality of life for working Americans has steadily eroded since the 60's. They just want an America where a working person can expect a living wage and to be able to afford the basics like food, health care, and a home if they are willing to work.

@decoderchick99 - Micheal moore is stooge agent???? BULLSHIT. This is a person who speaks out against idiot rich, greed, sick bastar wankers. People argue he makes lots of money from what he does, yet do you see other fucks doing what he does NOOOOOOOOOOO.

Michael Moore is another stooge agent, and most people are to blind and brainwashed to learn the real truth of what's going on here. Is no wonder people are so confused. They are in a trance, and following anyone who speaks out with a megaphone. It continues to boggle my mind, the amt. of people that have been put into total hypnosis. Climate change this you lying stooge!

@piax00 You mean we...support friends and punish enemies? I bet we're the FIRST and ONLY country to do that, right? How did we manage to hang onto exclusivity on that and birth-control, when they steal all our other ideas/technologies?

But still, without the TONS of food, money, and meds we send to (Insert country here), that country would erase itself from the genepool, and Good Riddance! Then these moochers turn around and call themselves "Independent"--in what way?

[piax00]

@EPGAH That's because foreign aid is not what it sounds.They are really investments because there are so many conditions attached, some of which the right of corporations to own land, be exempt from the aided country's environmental laws, etc.That's why it is so big and doesn't really help those countries. The money goes to the cronies and thugs they support in those countries' governments.

@EPGAH it's not just "change the system". it's not about capitalism vs comunism. it's all about justice and reason

@RedZHunter Everyone will die with healthcare or not. All things die. Even universes.

[EPGAH]

@RedZHunter Actually, I wouldn't mind even all these giveaways, but have you read our national budget for 2012? Foreign Aid dwarfs healthcare, prison, and welfare COMBINED! We could afford more giveaways to our own people if we stopped giving away to other countries.

Moreover, the other countries are so ungrateful! Whatever we give, it's not enough, or not the right FORM of aid, or they bitch that WE dole it out instead of letting the local warlord give it out, or even try to STEAL it! (Haiti)

@RedZHunter Not everyone will die. I don't know how old you are, but as little as 20 years ago, before insurance became mandatory and Medicare/Medicare were bloated beyond all reason, hospitals had to keep their prices reasonable, or they would literally price themselves out of business.

Guaranteed payment, whether Government-based or insurance-based, divorced medical prices from market pressures. I.e., they could charge whatever the hell they wanted, knowing that it would always get paid!
